As the importance of the Go language grows, the need for a great tutorial grows with it. This book fills this need.
Go Web Programming teaches you how to build scalable, high-performance web applications in Go using modern design principles.
About the Technology
The Go language handles the demands of scalable, high-performance web applications by providing clean and fast compiled code, garbage collection, a simple concurrency model, and a fantastic standard library. It?s perfect for writing microservices or building scalable, maintainable systems.
About the book
Go Web Programming teaches you how to build web applications in Go using modern design principles. You?ll learn how to implement the dependency injection design pattern for writing test doubles, use concurrency in web applications, and create and consume JSON and XML in web services. Along the way, you?ll discover how to minimize your dependence on external frameworks, and you?ll pick up valuable productivity techniques for testing and deploying your applications.
